it sounds like you need to change the spark plugs and possibly the ignition wires
I have 98 Malibu 3.1. Miss-fire cyl #5 started in 2004. Changed spark plugs and wires replaced injector 5. Problem seemed to be gone. Came back couple years later. have replaced wires and plugs switched coils and still miss-fire #5. I live with problem. Never dies and clears up after 5-10 min. Happens when hot and sits for less than 1 hr.
Stop by http://www.coloradofans.com there are different people that have had that problem. you can probably message them personally and see how they got to that problem. P0300= Random/ multiple cylinder misfire detected P0301= Misfire detected- cylinder #1 P0302= Misfire detected- cylinder #2 P0303= Misfire detected- cylinder #3 P0304= Misfire detected- cylinder #4 p0305= Misfire detected- cylinder #5 P.S. These are Diagnostic trouble codes, not vechicle id numbers.
A cylinder misfire can be cause by a bad spark plug or a bad fuel injector. Replace the spark plug to see if the problem is corrected.
this could be a bad plugwire or sparkplug or a bad coil for cylinder 7.
Misfire on more than one cylinder. Start by replacing your plugs and plug wires. If that does not solve the problem, run a compression test to determine if you have a burnt valve.
P1399 is multiple/ variable misfire detected. Many people have tried to fix this problem by doing major tune ups but no luck. The majority of the time, the problem is in the cylinder head, more than likely burnt valves or the valves need to be adjusted.
Replace all the spark plugs and plug wires. If that does not solve the problem look at the coils.
The most common reason for a misfire is the ignition coil that is connected to the sparkplug on top of the problem cylinder.
Make sure you check the EGR valve, mine went bad and it gave me a multiple cylinder misfire code... It means it is misfiring on more than one cylinder. A new set of plugs and or plug wires may fix the problem. But it can also be many other things. Vacuum leak, fuel injector problem, etc ALSO coil packs can give you a code for multiple random misfires
A cylinder misfire has been detected ( you need to have the Explorer scanned for any trouble code (s) to help diagnose and then repair the problem ) Avoid any heavy acceleration or decelleration until the problem is repaired
fuel injecters bad
If your check engine light is blinking that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected - have the vehicle scanned for any trouble code(s) to help diagnose and then repair the problem
PO300P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected. Can be a fuel injector problem. Install a can of Seafoam or Techron FI cleaner in a full tank of fuel. You may need to do it twice. Don't buy the cheap FI cleaners as they are worthless.Pontiac 1997 grand prix gtpyes
